It's not like you should be skipping and grinning ear-to-ear on your way to the dentist's office. But if the thought of getting a dental exam makes you so anxious that you skip the appointment instead of going, you are hurting your dental health. That probably means you have some form of dental anxiety.
Call our Jeffersonville, IN dental office today at 812-913-6093 to schedule your next appointment. Dr. Kirchner is your Jeffersonville dentist who knows how to help you feel comfortable and relaxed with The Wand™, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and more. Finally, you can get the dental care you need so much without dental anxiety.
What is dental anxiety? It's really just a fear of going to the dentist. It doesn't have to mean you're paralyzed over the idea of going. But if you experience anxiety and worry over going, then you probably have some dental anxiety.
That's entirely normal, and you're not alone. Many people avoid getting dental exams and more because the anxiety is too strong. Here are some common reasons why people have dental anxiety.
It's been years since you last visited a dentist.
Fear of the unknown is surprisingly powerful. So when it's been a long time since you last had your teeth cleaned and checked, you might have dental anxiety because you have no idea what's going to happen. Will your teeth be just fine, or will some have to be removed?
The dentist's office intimidated you when you were a child.
When you're young, the dentist's office is full of strange people, machines, and sounds. Plus, they want to touch your teeth! That's why kids can have a tough time there even if there's never anything wrong with their teeth. And how you felt as a child can still impact you today.
You heard a story about a bad dental visit.
You don't even have to experience a troublesome visit to have some dental anxiety. Stories are powerful, and they can make you feel like you're there. If you heard a story from a friend or show about a bad time at the dentist's office, you can remember that on some level and have concerns about your future visits.
It's hard for you to not do stuff while others work.
Some people are so used to being busy, it's hard to not be doing stuff. That's very true for parents and people who work high-stress jobs. Sitting around while others work is a bad thing! But that's exactly what you have to do when you visit a dentist. That's why these people can have some dental anxiety.
Then what can be done if you have dental anxiety? Call Kirchner Dental at 812-913-6093 to make an appointment. Dr. Kirchner is your Jeffersonville dentist who can help in several ways.
Local anesthesia is necessary so you can be comfortable during a dental treatment like getting a filling or dental crown. However, many people are worried about the needle used to inject the anesthetic. Thankfully, Dr. Kirchner is trained in The Wand™. This computer-controlled system adjust the flow of anesthesia so you will hardly feel it being used.
Also known as laughing gas, this is a simple form of sedation dentistry. As you breath the gas in, you start to feel relaxed and comfortable. Chances are, you'll stay awake the entire time. You just won't have that anxiety anymore. Nitrous oxide wears off as soon as you stop using it, so you'll be fine by the end of your appointment with our Jeffersonville dentist.
This is a stronger form of dental anxiety. It's a small pill you take about one hour before your visit. It induces a deeply relaxed feeling to get rid of dental anxiety. Because it's strong, you'll need someone to take you to and from our Jeffersonville, IN dental office.
Call us today at 812-913-6093 or use our convenient online form to make your next appointment. Don't let dental anxiety turn small, easily-fixed dental problems into something big and expensive. Let our Jeffersonville dentist use sedation dentistry and more to get past your dental anxiety — and help you get a healthy smile.

For the first time in more than 20 years, the federal agency responsible for motor carrier regulation has issued official guidance on personal conveyance. That's where a commercial truck or bus driver can operate the vehicle while off duty and isn't subject to on-duty hours restrictions.
It's also been a focal point of confusion for fleets and drivers regarding the federal Hours of Service (HOS) rules since the onset of electronic logging devices (ELDs), which require that all movement of the commercial vehicle be precisely accounted for. Prior to that in the predominantly paper log era, documenting personal conveyance was more relaxed, so essentially, it was no big deal.
It's a good idea to read carefully through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) new guidance on personal conveyance, which is expected to be published in the Federal Register next week.
1. This is not a requirement — it's up to the carrier whether to allow personal conveyance of the commercial motor vehicle (CMV).
"Just because something is allowed by the law doesn't necessarily mean it has to be allowed by the carrier," noted Joe DeLorenzo, head of FMCSA's Office of Compliance and Enforcement, on a call with media yesterday afternoon.
2. If the carrier does allow personal conveyance, there are no limits that must be placed on it.
The federal government has no mileage restrictions like 30 miles, 50 miles, etc. or specific times of day for what's allowable. However, again, the carrier can set limits like that, if it so chooses.
"The carrier has the right to put limits on it or not put limits on it — do whatever they want," DeLorenzo said.
3. Carriers should be clear on their personal conveyance policy.
As complex an issue as personal conveyance can become, it's a good idea for carriers to spell out their position on it clearly with their drivers. FMCSA recommends that carriers have a policy in place on what they do or do not allow regarding personal conveyance, including any limits.
4. The driver must be off duty for it to be personal conveyance.
While there are many specific instances to consider whether they can legitimately count as personal conveyance, "first of all, it's an off-duty status," DeLorenzo stressed. "In order to be off duty, the guidance is clear that you have to be relieved from work and from responsibility by the employer."
5. The purpose of a personal conveyance move has to be, after all, personal.
In addition to taking place while off duty, a personal conveyance of the CMV cannot advance a load being carried or the driver's job in some way. If it does, that's on-duty driving time, not personal conveyance. FMCSA also referred to this point in the guidance as whether a move "enhances operational readiness."
Details are very important here. DeLorenzo gave an example where a driver is delivering or picking up a load at a shipper or carrier and it takes longer than planned, using up the driver's available hours of service, and then is told to leave the property.
That's a scenario drivers cite very frequently. If the driver at that point goes off duty and moves the CMV under personal conveyance to the nearest safe parking spot to continue required off-duty time, YES, that's a legitimate use of personal conveyance.
But if the driver were to pass the nearest safe parking spot in order to get to another location that's closer to their next delivery or pickup, that's advancing the load/job and is NOT personal conveyance. DeLorenzo emphasized "safe, reasonable" parking for the truck several times, urging drivers and carriers to use good judgment.
The goal of the federal Hours of Service rules is safety — not to make life difficult for drivers. FMCSA has been clear to acknowledge that in the real world of trucking today, things happen. This guidance on personal conveyance isn't just for carriers and drivers, the agency noted, it's just as much for law enforcement to be clear on what's allowed and foster "reasonable" conversations at the roadside, when it comes to that.
"FMCSA recognizes that much of the pressure on drivers . . . results from delays during the loading or unloading process, causing a driver to run out of hours," the agency stated. "This guidance will have a positive impact . . . by giving drivers the flexibility to locate and obtain adequate rest, as this would be off-duty time in personal conveyance status."
6. The CMV can be loaded or empty during personal conveyance.
In a key change under this new guidance, a commercial motor vehicle can be laden or unladen during personal conveyance. It now means that straight trucks can be part of this as well; before, since those can't unhitch from their trailer and cargo, straight trucks weren't allowed to be used for personal conveyance.
"The revised guidance allows these vehicles, under the circumstances described in the guidance, to be driven as a personal conveyance," FMCSA noted. Similarly, a semi-truck doesn't need to be unhitched from its trailer or be pulling an empty trailer for a personal conveyance, as would be the case in the scenario discussed in No. 5 above.
Putting it succinctly, FMCSA stated, "This guidance now applies regardless of whether the vehicle is laden. However, the requirement for the driver to be off duty still exists."
7. Personal conveyance does not affect the driver's on-duty time.
It should go without saying, but personal conveyance is an off-duty drive status and therefore has no effect on the driver's available hours of service, or on-duty time.
"There are no impacts [from personal conveyance] to the 11- or 14-hour limitations for truck drivers, the 10- or 15-hour limitations for bus drivers, the 60/70-hour limitations, the 34-hour restart provisions, or any other on-duty status," FMCSA pointed out in the guidance.
8. A move when the driver is parked and off duty can be personal conveyance.
Going to a restaurant, pursuing a personal activity, going to find a safe bathroom, or moving the CMV in response to a law enforcement request while the driver is off duty — these would all be moves permissible as personal conveyance.
Caveats there, once again, are that the move must be personal in nature. It cannot advance the load, "enhance operational readiness" or be "for the commercial benefit of the carrier," and the personal conveyance (personal use) of whatever kind must be allowed by the carrier.
9. The driver does not have to return to the last on-duty location after a personal conveyance.
FMCSA clarified in the guidance that there is no requirement that the driver return to his or her last on-duty location after a personal conveyance move.
"A driver may resume on-duty status immediately after an off-duty status, regardless of the location of the CMV," the agency stated.
10. A commute with the truck to and from the terminal or similar location, if allowed by the carrier/ employer, can be personal conveyance.
A commercial driver taking the CMV to and from home was a scenario a number of carriers apparently asked about as this guidance was being finalized.
"Commuting time from work comes up a lot," DeLorenzo noted on the call. "If you truly are going from home to work — to the yard to pick up a trailer or to somewhere like that — that personal time driving to work is considered to be personal conveyance, and the same thing on the opposite end."
Also in that regard, once again, there is no mileage limit that a carrier would need to place on such a legitimate commute.

Why is the Illinois EPA visiting my facility?
Inspections of livestock management facilities are scheduled for several reasons, including the following:
Investigation of a complaint of water pollution or air pollution
Follow-up visits at facilities that have had previous problems
Investigations of facilities in a particular watershed or other geographical area
Visits to facilities subject to significant public interest, due to size or location
Visits to obtain information for permit purposes
Investigations of possible problems observed by Illinois EPA staff
Field staff will discuss the reasons and purposes for the visit with the facility operator at the time of the visit.
What authority does the Illinois EPA have for inspections?
State law and regulations give the Illinois EPA authority to inspect livestock management facilities and livestock waste handling facilities. Field staff will attempt to locate a facility representative upon arriving at a site. In some situations, such as investigation of a fish kill or other emergency, field staff may need to observe unattended waste handling facilities. In general, though, inspections of unattended facilities are limited to areas visible from public roads and the facility driveway. Staff may also leave a business card or note with a request that a facility representative call the Illinois EPA to schedule a follow up visit.
Illinois Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/4)
Section 4(b): The Agency shall have the duty to collect and disseminate such information, acquire such technical data, and conduct such experiments as may be required to carry out the purposes of this Act, including ascertainment of the quantity and nature of discharges from any contaminant source and data on those sources….
Section 4(c): The Agency shall have authority to conduct a program of continuing surveillance and of regular or periodic inspection of actual or potential contaminant…sources….
Section 4(d): In accordance with constitutional limitations, the Agency shall have authority to enter at all reasonable times upon any private or public property for the purpose of...(i) inspecting and investigating to ascertain possible violations of the Act or of regulations thereunder, or of permits or terms or conditions thereof....
35 Illinois Administrative Code 501.406
a) The Agency shall have the authority to enter at all reasonable times upon any private or public property for the purpose of inspecting and investigating to ascertain possible violations of the Act or regulations thereunder, in accordance with constitutional limitations....
b) The activities of inspecting and investigating include:
1) Having access to and the right to copy any records required to be kept under the terms of the permit; and
2) Having access to, sampling and monitoring any discharge of pollutants to ground and surface waters.
What happens during an inspection?
Upon arrival at a livestock facility, field staff will discuss biosecurity requirements with a facility representative. Illinois EPA staff is required to comply with reasonable biosecurity practices at the request of the operator. Field staff will also discuss the reason for the visit, and a proposed plan for the inspection.
During the visit, Illinois EPA staff will observe and discuss the size and type of livestock at the facility and the areas where livestock are housed. In most cases, field staff will not need to enter any area where livestock are confined or housed, and they will not do so without the authorization of the owner or operator. The majority of the inspection will focus on waste management, including storage structures, capacities, and management practices. Regulations relating to operation of the facility and management of livestock waste will be discussed with the operator. Photographs and samples may be obtained to document conditions at the facility. Also, records required by regulations or permits issued to the facility may be reviewed.
Finally, field staff will review any problems noted during the inspection with the facility representative before leaving. The discussion will usually include options for correcting the problems, and information about sources of technical assistance available to the facility.
What happens after the inspection?
When no violations are found after completion of the inspection, the process ends. If violations are found, one of the following actions may be initiated depending on the seriousness of the problems:
Noncompliance Advisory: When relatively minor problems are found, a Noncompliance Advisory letter may be sent to the facility owner or operator. This letter will document the violations of water or air pollution control regulations and laws observed during the inspection, and include recommendations for correcting the problems.
Violation Notice: More serious violations, or failure to correct problems noted in a Noncompliance Advisory, may result in a Violation Notice letter to the facility from Illinois EPA headquarters in Springfield. Examples of violations that may lead to this response include livestock waste releases causing water quality violations, or documented instances of air pollution. The Violation Notice contains a description of the alleged violations and actions that the Agency believes may resolve the violations, and begins a series of steps described in the Environmental Protection Act. These steps include an opportunity to meet with the Illinois EPA and to propose a Compliance Commitment Agreement to resolve the violations. If no agreement is reached, or the compliance commitment is not met, the Illinois EPA may follow up with a notice that it intends to pursue legal action. This notice provides an opportunity for a second meeting with the Agency; if the violations still remain unresolved, the matter may be referred to the Illinois Attorney General, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or a county State's Attorney's office for enforcement.
Request for Injunctive Relief: Section 43 of the Environmental Protection Act allows the Illinois EPA to request an injunction from the local circuit court to halt an activity causing or contributing to "substantial danger to the environment or to the public health of persons or to the welfare of persons where such danger is to the livelihood of such persons." A significant release of livestock waste to surface water or a serious, ongoing air pollution episode meeting the above criteria are some of the violations that could trigger this response.
Who should I call if I have questions?
Field inspectors will be able to answer most questions about a facility inspection. If you need more information, you may contact the local Illinois EPA regional manager at the same address and phone number as the field inspector, or Jim Miles, manager of Field Operations for the Division of Water Pollution Control in Springfield at (217) 782-1654.

When the morning came, Sandara restored my eyesight and then we discussed, at length, what to do to recover our Captain.
Feruzi suggested that we smash the stone with no delay, that being the way to remove and recover from the spell that was the basis of the stone's construction. While this plan had serious merit, we were reluctant to act upon it as it may not have been the correct action and we may have lost Chopper completely. After some spells to communicate with other, more experienced persons, we finally decided that destroying the dreamstone was the correct action. Fitting plan to action, I blasted the Stone with my pistol and released all the captured souls as well as our bewildered Captain.
After catching Chopper up on our events, we set out to remove the last remains of Bikendi Otongu from the world of the living.
Once we had arrived at his underground chamber, it was made manifest that he was well aware of our intentions and proceeded to attempt to posses Sandara. Failing at that, he then attempted to thwart our minds, drain our life essences, and generally to wreck havoc upon us. Being possessed of strong wills and magical weapons, we made short work of his ghost, although we did suffer for this work.
As our reward, we claimed the island as our own and all treasure upon it. As well we claimed Bikendi Otongu's journal that contained a map to additional hidden treasure.
Once we found that we had no more challenges upon the fort, we began the preliminary work upon it to make it habitable and safe for our use. As well we sent for workers of a more specialized bent to make our new kingdom worthy to house such pirates as ourselves.
Being that we had completed our primary objectives, we set out to examine the rest of the island, to be sure that no more dangerous surprises lay waiting for us to stumble upon.
One, the Nerid Sefina, whose presence offered us only a slight danger, though that would be more to those sailors that offered her any harm or insult.
And, Two, the Manticore Morgus had made his way to the Island and had made his home upon the peak behind the Fortress. He was made welcome in our Captain's odd way and promised us to warn us of dangers, should they approach.
Of a final note on the disposition of the island's resources, the tower to the north west was set aside for my use as a place removed from careless passerby, that I may perform my experiments in explosives, firearms and alchemy.
For now, the repairs continue apace and we expect Pegsworthy at any time.

The safety of intravenous iron dextran in hemodialysis patients
Am J Kidney Dis. 1996 Oct;28(4):529-34. doi: 10.1016/s0272-6386(96)90463-1.
S Fishbane 1 , V D Ungureanu, J K Maesaka, C J Kaupke, V Lim, J Wish

The treatment of anemia in hemodialysis patients is frequently hindered by the presence of suboptimal iron stores. Intravenous iron dextran is in common use to maintain iron stores in this population, but there are little published data regarding the incidence and type of adverse events. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of this medication. Charts from four hemodialysis centers of all 573 patients treated with intravenous iron dextran (INFeD; Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc, Florham Park, NJ) between July 1, 1993, and June 30, 1995, were studied. Twenty-seven patients (4.7%) had adverse reactions that were related to iron dextran. Four patients (0.7%) had reactions classified as serious (one cardiac arrest; three others required hospitalization). Ten patients (1.7%) had reactions classified as anaphylactoid. No patients died or developed permanent disability as a result of reactions. The most common adverse reactions included itching (1.5% of patients) and dyspnea or wheezing (1.5%); others included chest pain (1.0%), nausea (0.5%), hypotension (0.5%), swelling (0.5%), dyspepsia (0.5%), diarrhea (0.5%), skin flushing (0.3%), headache (0.3%), cardiac arrest (0.2%), and myalgias (0.2%). Five of all the reactions occurred during a test dose; four of these were anaphylactoid. Several factors were studied as possible predictors of adverse reactions. A positive history of drug allergy (odds ratio, 2.4; P = 0.03) and history of multiple drug allergy (odds ratio, 5.5; P = 0.0004) were significant predictors of reactions. In summary, we found serious adverse reactions to be uncommon in hemodialysis patients treated with intravenous iron dextran. Future prospective studies will help confirm this finding.

Sean L. ('25) plays soccer on the Varsity soccer team at TAS. [PHOTO COURTESY OF SEAN L.]
Sean L. ('25, he/him) recently joined the Chinese Taipei Football team to play in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation's (AFC) qualifying tournament. Sean was also on this year's varsity soccer team but had to opt out of traveling for the Interscholastic Association of Southeast Asian School (IASAS) competition to play in the AFC tournament.
For the AFC tournament, Sean traveled to both Malaysia and Vietnam to compete against teams from Vietnam, Thailand and Nepal.
The U-17 Taiwan team, which consists of players under the age of 17, ended with one win and two losses, placing third overall. As this is Sean's first year on the Taiwan team, he hopes to continue to improve and grow as a player with his teammates.
"I've never played in international games," Sean said. "I normally just play in Taiwan so this is a big step for me."
Sean was recruited by scouts from tournaments such as the Asian Qualifiers Club, which invites local teams to compete in tournament-style matches. Scouts from the national team watch the games and extend offers to promising players. He has been training with the national team for over a year and will continue playing for Taiwan.
"I love playing with Sean as I already have played with him for several years outside school," Daniel T. ('24), one of Sean's varsity teammates, said. "He is a great player and I love his desire to win which makes me excited to play with him in the future."
Looking forward, Sean also hopes to continue playing soccer at TAS. If given the choice between IASAS and his national team's tournament, he would still make the same choice to play for the national team.
"Despite having to leave school for such a long time. I still feel like it was a really good choice for me," Sean said.
Matthew K. ('25), one of Sean's varsity teammates, greatly admires his leadership and determination. "I look forward to Sean being captain of the varsity squad during his senior year at TAS and leading [us] to another gold medal at IASAS," he said.

An Olive Garden spokesperson has disputed a Politico report that the restaurant chain has pulled its advertising from CBS' Late Show with David Letterman in response to the comedian's jokes about Sarah Palin's daughter.
Olive Garden spokesperson Rich Jeffers disputed the claim from an anonymous company source in the Politico article who said that Olive Garden had pulled its remaining ads from the program.
Jeffers told the Christian Science Monitor and the New York Times that the company's scheduled ads on Letterman were completed earlier this month.
A headline on the Fire David Letterman web site stating that Embassy Suites has pulled advertising from Letterman's program also appears to be specious. The hotel chain is not an advertiser on CBS or CBS.com.

Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species
C.I.T.E.S is an international agreement between governments focused on ensuring that international trade does not threaten the survival of endangered wild animals and plants. Our rosewood burl is recovered from stumps and logs left behind by Belizean loggers over a century ago. We do NOT, nor have we EVER, cut down rosewood trees, and do NOT contribute to unethical deforestation.

Frequently Asked Question:
Hasn't Honduran Rosewood made a noticeable recovery and been removed from "endangered" to "protected?"
First, a distinction must be made between "straight grain" and "burl." Honduran rosewood trees have been replanted on tree farms in Central America. Slow-growing, it takes many years for a tree to reach the minimum 4" diameter for the harvest of "straight grain." But the only way to possibly produce a mammoth "burl" the size of an easy chair is to leave the tree alone for 1000 years or more. And, remember, the occurrence of burl still happens only in about one out of 500 rosewood trees. So, no. It's over. Mother Nature won't be making any more. For this reason, Honduran Rosewood Burl is an excellent financial investment. It can never be replenished on Planet Earth.
"A rosewood burl work-of-art represents the heavenly after-life of a tree, a second chance to live on as a breathtaking reincarnation of natural living beauty, the means by which a tree can become truly immortal." ~NK~

Inglourious Propoganda
I saw the film Inglourious Basterds the other day, upon the recommendation of a number of friends. I left the theater feeling two simultaneous and somewhat contradictory feelings (in a word: ambivalent). On the one hand, I "enjoyed" the film: the tension-building dialogues exploding in a climactic release (apologies for the sexual undertones there), the hip, "anything goes" approach to style (anachronistic soundtrack, insider cameos, visual homage, etc.) and the powerful archetypal film characters (the bad ass soldiers, the avenging victim, the brilliant psychopath, etc.). It was an incredibly well-made film, but it also gave me exactly what I would want (on one level) from a movie about people taking on the Nazis. [SPOILER ALERT] The Nazis get SLAUGHTERED! The good guys win, and even if some of them died in the process, it was heroically in the act of destroying some of the most evil people in history.
But this is where the contradictory feeling came in. It felt wrong to enjoy the massacre of Nazis. (There was some part of me that felt like I was watching Team America: World Police without realizing it was a satire of American military arrogance.)
The scene that came back to me as I was reflecting on the film & realizing my ambivalence was when Hitler, Goebbels & the Nazi elite were watching the film within the film about the young Nazi war hero who killed 300 Allied soldiers from a tower. Repeatedly, we watch the Nazis applauding scenes of the sniper picking off his attackers (probably Americans) and we scoff at this propagandistic depiction of violence against the enemy, portrayed as inhuman, anonymous targets for the hero to destroy. Even the young Nazi hero seems to feel disdain for the way this is portrayed…
Though I did not find it ironic at the time, subsequently, we as the audience are treated to the sight of these Nazi filmgoers being burned to death & shot down like fish in a barrel by Jewish soldiers (along with a highly fetishized moment of actor Eli Roth ripping Hitler's face apart with a hail (heil?) of bullets). It seems implicit that we will cheer this on, indeed, the whole film feels like a set-up for a moment that we can hardly believe could end this way (knowing actual history as we do). Of course, it was an "alternate history" reality we see occurring, but it felt so much more satisfying than what actually happened. However, I began to wonder how we as the filmgoers were much different from the Nazi movie audience cheering the death of Allied soldiers.
This led me to see the director of IB, Quentin Tarantino, as a sort of Joseph Goebbels figure of American populist cinema (depicting simplistic good/evil characters, giving an audience what it wants, using techniques–such as the score, B-movie conventions, etc.–to tap into the collective audience subconscious and manipulate them to the filmmaker's ends), which oddly then, would make Harvey Weinstein, a Jew, the Hitler figure…although I suppose it's not completely surprising as he has been seen as a bit of a fascist dictator in the filmmaking business.
The film had a number of role reversals of Nazi for Jew (Aldo referring to Nazi's as "not human", the brutal beatings/casual executions of German soldiers, all of the Nazi's being burned to death similar to the crematoriums), which made me feel like I was being set up/propogandized to applaud the same thing for the Nazis which I lamented for the Jews. I may be seeing something that is not there at all, but it seems like to take this film simply as a "revenge fantasy film" for Jews (see reactions from descendants of Holocaust survivors and Rabbis here) lacks a certain amount of incredulity that a savvy director such as QT would expect. Am I supposed to resist my enjoyment of this slice of fantasy justice, or give into it and become implicitly akin to the Nazi filmgoers?
Anyhow, regardless of whether I have appropriately interpreted this sequence of scenes, I would recommend anyone else who "enjoyed" watching all of the Nazis get killed as inhuman representations of pure evil to watch a film like Stalingrad where the audience follows young German soldiers, who don't seem as gung ho about the 3rd Reich as we usually see in films, heading to the Russian front where they are led like sheep to a slaughter. Anyone associated with the Nazi regime certainly finds themselves on the wrong side of history, but we may need to be careful to allow ourselves to be duped into seeing ANYONE as less than human…even those who we feel like are the worst people in history.

A wet day today, so more about yesterdays Out and About. Our walk was around Yarrow reservoir, higher up above the much larger Anglezarke and Rivington lakes. Yarrow is one of seven water catchments built in the 1850's around the west and north of the West Pennine Moors to supply water to Liverpool. Impressive embankments surround three sides of the reservoir with a cascade down into Anglezarke. The fall was in good flow yesterday after a wet winter and Easter.
The River Yarrow starts high up on the side of Spitlers Edge, just north of the high point of the road between Belmont and Rivington. Prior to the building of the dams the river flowed directly into Chorley. Now a small overflow from Upper Rivington restarts the stream before it resumes its way into town. Lower down the river Sea Trout and an occasional salmon make their way upstream through fish ladders. Otters have also been seen. Protecting these fish led to a "Friends of the River Yarrow" charity being formed. A plaque from them marks the source of the river high up on the highs.
Once we climbed up from Rivington to the higher area it becomes a gentle and scenic walk around the reservoir, through fields, across the solid Alance bridge and back along a water board lane. They were cutting the grass around the banks as we walked past. Smells of newly mown grass filled the air, nicer on the senses than the sound of the strimmers. That reminds me, I do need to do something about my lawn.
A good series of posts to an interesting area where you keep finding new, or rather ancient, things. Keep it going.
Thanks, trying hard. Have a stack of local guide books to help as well.

Q: Getting error (cause of indeces) when trying to print dictionary using pandas I am trying to use Pandas to display a dictionary
import pandas as pd

I am getting the error message
ValueError: If using all scalar values, you must pass an index

My dictionary looks like this
{0: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='linear') Time: 6.324216842651367", 1: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='poly') Time: 6.96935248374939", 2: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='sigmoid') Time: 12.137079954147339"}

I think I have found out what the error is. I need to change the data and pass indeces. But I am not sure how to do this, as my dictionary is created in a loop like this:
    for x in range(len(arrL)):
       ....
       dictionary[x] = "Classifier: "+str(arrL[x]) + " Time: " + str(times[x])
pd.DataFrame(dictionary)

If I should/can somehow remove the indeces/numbers to help the problem, that would be find, unless a better solution is adviced
The code that gives me the error is:
pd.DataFrame(dictionary)

---------------------------------Update-----------------------------------
Another problem is that I need something similar to .append() or +=  to the dictionary
for x in range(len(objList)):

    arrL[x].fit(X_train, c_train)
    ...
    dictionary = {
                "Classifier": arrL[x],
                "Time": times[x],
    }

Notice this approach is different from the original way I created the dictionary:
dictionary[x] = "Classifier: " + os.linesep +str(objList[x]) + " Time: " + str(times[x])

I need to add all the objects to the dictionary. Right now they are just been overwritten as the loop continues, and at the end only the last object from the list is in the dictionary. I need something like  dictionary += ..

A: I think you just need to give provide an index when passing your dictionary (Shown below). But this is probably not what you want.
d = {0: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='linear') Time: 6.324216842651367",
     1: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='poly') Time: 6.96935248374939",
     2: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='sigmoid') Time: 12.137079954147339"}

pd.DataFrame(d, index=[key for key in d])

It seems like what you are actually trying to do is something like this...???
Here I have passed the column names as keys and the values in a list.
d = {"Classifier":[ "SVC(kernel='linear')", "SVC(kernel='poly')", "SVC(kernel='sigmoid')"],
     "Time": ["6.324216842651367", "6.96935248374939", "12.137079954147339"]}

pd.DataFrame(d)

If you have a large dictionary that you need to restructure you can use the following code to get the same result as the previous example.
d = {0: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='linear') Time: 6.324216842651367",
     1: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='poly') Time: 6.96935248374939",
     2: "Classifier: SVC(kernel='sigmoid') Time: 12.137079954147339"}

# Create a dictionary with the columns you want
new_d = {'Classifier':[], 'Time':[]}

# split each value in the dictionary provided
# take the items at index 1 and append to classifier key
# take the items at index 3 and append to time key
for key in d:
    split_list = d[key].split(' ')
    new_d['Classifier'].append(split_list[1])
    new_d['Time'].append(split_list[3])

df = pd.DataFrame(new_d)

A: This is all you need
pd.DataFrame(dictionary, index=[0])

Or if you want them as rows, just add a .T, like this
pd.DataFrame(dictionary, index=[0]).T

Accommodation and places to stay
Airbnb on a Sydney island
A Sydney island has launched pop-up Airbnb "glampervans" on an island, where rooms are only AUD$15 a night.
By Georgia Rickard
Most people know that Sydney is the home to a few beaches. (Well, more than a few – the city has over 100 of them, including these great secrets.) But it's also home to islands of all shapes and sizes: from protected reserves where you can have a peaceful picnic, to suburban hubs with full-time residents and pretty island getaways where you can enjoy fishing, swimming and that famous Sydney sunshine. Now one of the most popular of all, an island in the middle of Sydney Harbour, has unveiled pop-up Airbnb glampsites for just AUD$15 a night – and that's not the only island escape worth considering...
Pop-up glamping at Cockatoo Island
Mercedes-Benz Vans x Airbnb Glamping, Cockatoo Island, Sydney, New South Wales
Hot tip: Cockatoo Island is one of Sydney's most fascinating destinations. Walk the foreshore of this small UNESCO World Heritage site and you'll not only discover a cafe, bar and great views (the island is in the middle of Sydney's famous harbour), but some of the city's most interesting convict ruins. Sydneysiders often come here for concerts, festivals, art exhibitions and events – it's a short ferry ride from the city – but now you can also sleep here in Airbnb "glampervans" for just AUD$15 a night. The experience is only a pop-up – it was created to promote the launch of a new glampervan – but it's a little-known fact that Cockatoo Island is actually home to several kinds of accommodation, so you can wake up to a prized position and water views every day of the year for a surprisingly affordable price. You're welcome!
Explore Cockatoo Island's accommodation options
A modern escape on Dangar Island
The Dangar Island House, Sydney, New South Wales
Cockatoo Island offers spectacular views of the city, but if it's an escape from the big smoke you're after, put Dangar Island on your list. With its native Australian bushland, beautiful architecture and clear clean waters, this small patch of paradise in Sydney's north has become a minor Instagram sensation among in-the-know Sydneysiders (search #dangarisland to see some of its photogenic qualities). Its out-of-the-way location in the city's north has ensured the island retains a quiet, locals-only vibe, but with its regular ferry timetable, single shop/cafe and low-key bowling club and bar, it's not entirely suburban. There are several unique Airbnb stays on Dangar (including a whimsical little boathouse), but we're particularly enamoured with The Dangar Island House. Owned by two prominent Sydney stylists, it's a haven of raw timber, natural light and modern Australian design. Just don't tell anyone we told you about it.
Explore the Dangar Island House
The classic beach weekend on Scotland Island
Cabin on Scotland Island, Sydney, New South Wales
Getting to Scotland Island – located in Sydney's exclusive Pittwater region, near Palm Beach – is half the fun. Jump on a ferry from Church Point (preferably after a coffee at the Marina Café or a scenic drive through stunning Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park) and breathe in the cool, clean air as you float past thickly forested hills to a tiny slice of Sydney heaven. Aside from prolific wildlife (expect to meet friendly wallabies – similar to kangaroos, but smaller – and lots of native birds) you'll find a tight-knit artistic community, many of whom commute to work on the "mainland" every day. Scotland Island feels more like rural Australia than Sydney – many roads are unsealed, most locals get around on foot and groceries are delivered by boat. Which makes it a great place to experience a classically laid-back Australian weekend at this snug little cabin. Note that you'll need to plan well in advance to secure your stay – the property has a very high repeat-booking rate.

The ultimate island experience on Sydney Harbour
Luxury yacht on Sydney Harbour, New South Wales
OK, so it's not actually an "island", but it's definitely a castaway experience. Europa is a private luxury yacht on Sydney's sparkling harbour – and a wildly popular Airbnb listing. Reserve your stay and choose between being moored in the exclusive inner-city waterside hamlet of Elizabeth Bay (adjacent to Potts Point) or just off Taronga Zoo on the other side of the harbour, where you'll enjoy spectacular views of the Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and city lights. Measuring 46 feet (14 metres), this teak-and-leather affair comes with all the mod cons (Bose speakers, iPhone dock, flatscreen TV), not to mention necessities such as luxury linen, champagne glassware and fluffy towels – but what we like best is its rather large "swimming pool". Simply hop over the railing to discover it – it's the size of Sydney Harbour! Discover more Sydney islands. Prefer to stay on the mainland? Check out Sydney's best secret cheap eats instead.

The Perils of Budget Balancing – or When to Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Posted on August 2, 2012 by Susan Cooke
On June 14, the Washington Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the constitutionality of utilizing the proceeds from a state excise tax on motor vehicle fuel for non-highway related purposes. The tax in question is the Hazardous Substances Tax which went into effect in its current form in 1989 as part of the Model Toxics Control Act and covers the first in-state possession of petroleum products, pesticides, and a number of chemicals, with "possession" defined as "control of", and "control" as the power to sell or use, or to authorize sale or use.
The tax is currently set at 0.7% of the fair market wholesale value of the substance in question, with 47.1% of the proceeds placed in the State Toxics Control Account and the remaining 52.9% in the Local Toxics Control Account. Those accounts provide funding for contaminated site cleanup and a number of other state and local environmental programs, particularly those relating to waste and toxics controls. The projected tax revenues for fiscal year 2013 are estimated to be $144 million, with more than 80% of those revenues attributable to payments made by in-state petroleum refineries.
According to the pleadings, the plaintiff Automobile United Trades Organization ("AUTO") had some concerns about the legality of the Hazardous Substance Tax as adopted in 1989, but did not raise an objection at that time because AUTO also believed it was "good to clean up toxins in the environment". As a result, the pleadings reference an "uneasy peace" that continued in effect until the Washington State Legislature diverted $180 million of the 2009 tax proceeds to the state's general fund to help balance the state budget, and bills were introduced in both the state house and senate in 2010 to increase the tax rate from 0.7% to 2% and divert very substantial percentages of the additional revenues to the general fund for at least several years thereafter.
In 2010 the AUTO and Tower Energy Group filed a declaratory judgment action with respect to the constitutionality of the Hazardous Substance Tax as applied to motor vehicle fuel, arguing that any proceeds from taxing motor vehicle fuel must be used for highway purposes under the 18th Amendment of the Washington State Constitution (see Article II, Section 40). A lower court dismissed this argument, concluding that the Amendment did not require such use. It also found that the claim was barred by the doctrine of laches.
The 18th Amendment was adopted in 1944 after the state legislature had used gas tax revenues to fund non-highway related projects. It provides that motor vehicle license fees, as well as all excise taxes collected by the State of Washington on the sale, distribution, or use of motor vehicle fuel and all other state revenue intended to be used for highway purposes, must be placed in a special fund to be used exclusively for highway purposes. It also includes a proviso that exempts certain taxes then in existence (vehicle operator license fees, excise taxes imposed on motor vehicles or their use in lieu of a property tax on such vehicles, or fees for certificates of motor vehicle ownership) from its purview, and it states that "this section shall not be construed to include revenue from general or special taxes or excises not levied primarily for highway purposes".
The Washington State Attorney General argues that the proviso language just quoted limits the scope of the 18th Amendment to the previously noted gas tax and any other motor vehicle fuel excise tax specifically levied for highway purposes. Thus, the 18th Amendment would not apply to the Hazardous Substance Tax. The plaintiffs disagree, noting the Amendment's reference to "all excise taxes", and that the State Attorney General's interpretation would dismantle its anti-diversionary policy. As made clear during oral argument, the plaintiffs interpret the quoted language as a catch-all provision intended to cover any tax levies in existence at the time of the Amendment's passage that were similar to the two then existing taxes (a motor vehicle excise tax and a business and occupation tax) exempted from its purview.
Given the questions raised during oral argument, it appears that the Washington Supreme Court's decision will address the scope of the 18th Amendment and its relationship to the Model Toxics Control Act. Regardless of the outcome, the sequence of events does bring to mind that old adage about sleeping dogs.

March 2018 – A Work In Progress….
March is continuing to be the angry drunk of NJ months, which is no surprise to me. I've lived here for 20 years, and March is always just completely awful.
I'm continuing with my normal routine of doing absolutely everything but riding my horses. This month's project du jour is fence fixing.
30 things you may not know about me.


This work is devoted to the translations of the New Testament by Szymon Budny – an eminent sixteenth-century Polish writer, and outstanding linguist and biblical scholar of the Reformation. At first a Calvinist, Budny then became an Arian activist. The book's its purpose is to describe the changing progression taking place in the three editions of Budny's translations of the New Testament from 1570, 1572 and 1574. To this end, I perform a philological analysis of these texts in comparison to other biblical Polish translations of the 16th century (mainly to the Calvinist Brest Bible of 1563 and to the 1568 New Testament, which was modelled on it) as well as to Greek and Latin texts. The dynamic process of shaping the changes in succeeding translations of the New Testament, which Budny constantly improved and perfected, is most evident in his critical edition of the New Testament from 1574. Here, the author was able to present the results of his search for the authentic, i.e. correct and error-free, original text, a search which he based on multiple sources. He also expressed his position regarding the method of translation and theological interpretation (which corresponded to his confession).
This volume of studies by Polish and international linguists is devoted to changes in modern Slavic languages, which are especially noticeable in the spheres of vocabulary and word formation. Taking into consideration the stylistic and functional aspect of lexis development allows for a better understanding of the dynamics of language change and the efficacy of communicational acts. The purposeful and pragmatic character of communicational behaviour manifests itself widely in the social, political and cultural contexts considered by the Authors. The works comprising the volume are divided into three thematic sections: - Phenomena, processes and tendencies in the development of specialist lexis (terminology); - Word formation and lexical mechanisms dynamics; - Lexical change in modern language communication and discourse. The sections help organize the volume by highlighting the dominant theme in particular texts. The scopes of the sections are, nevertheless, not sharply delineated – each section is to an equal extent devoted to the complex and multifaceted subject-matter of the tendencies and changes in modern Slavic vocabulary. Most of the works comprised in the volume adopt a contrastive approach, the remaining ones can serve as bases for contrastive studies. The text analyse the rich material of the Slavic languages – Polish, Czech, Slovak, Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Slovene – as well as of other languages, like Modern Greek.
The book is an attempt to describe synonymy in scientific medical terminology (names of diseases) at the end of the 19th century based on the material obtained from "The Dictionary of Polish Medical Terminology" (Polish: "Słownik terminologii lekarskiej polskiej") from 1881 including a broad description of historical background and the conditions in which Polish medical terminology developed at that time. The characteristics of synonymy concerned primarily structural, semantic and genetic aspects. A secondary aim of the book was to present the material, i.e. 940 synonymic series presented as a Dictionary and Index. The Dictionary of Polish Medical Terminology from 1881 is a work of Polish physicians belonging to Cracow and Warsaw schools. They attempted to systematise Polish medical terminology (collect current terminology and supplement it due to a considerable development in the field of medicine). The primary conclusion from the analysis is that it was impossible to avoid synonymy in the terminology that was created consciously, which was largely influenced by non-linguistic, rather than linguistic, factors (e.g. the influence of synonymy in foreign medical terminologies, especially in Latin, or influence of one of the regions on the selection of a given term). What is more, the range of synonymy in this terminology is substantial (approximately 38%). Synonymy concerns all names of diseases (both those known for a long time and those discovered just before the dictionary was made in 1881). 94.5% of the synonymic series consist of native terms only. In general, 65.5% of the series consist of terms with similar, homogeneous structures e.g. two-word items, which are the most common (437 series). Moreover, the series are usually composed of words with the same stems (41.7%). The synonyms in mixed groups (in terms of structure) have various (with diverse level of complexity) relations with one another (i.e. they have the same or different stems). Furthermore, a part of the terminological synonyms (154) present polysemic relations.
The volume presents excerpts from writings by Ancient Roman authors of the turn of the Christian era which concern Slavs as well as, more generally, the Ancient Roman geography of Central-Eastern Europe. Each excerpt – accompanied by a note about its author and the work from which it originates, including an overview of the text's manuscripts, editions and critical studies – is presented in its Latin original as well as in Polish translation. The second part of the book is devoted to historiographical commentary to the excerpted sources and comprises a geographical lexicon of the Barbaricum: the Northern, Central and Eastern Europe with adjacent Asian territories. Presented and discussed in it are over 1.000 Ancient ethno- and toponyms.


the lack of excitement makes me gay!
On my way home from work today I got that… you know that feeling that your chest kind of cramps up in excitement? Except I had nothing to be excited about. The only thing I've got going for me right now is that I really like my job, and that my family isn't too far away. But other than that, I have no life. See, I have no parter in crime for the first time in a long time. No boyfriend, no allies, no high school-like conviction of "It's us against the world." Right now it's just me. Against the world.
Now, the boys are so-so cute, but most of the girls here look like they're freakin' edible! Mmm, girls.

Zale intenta is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Francis Walker in 1858. It is found in North America from Nova Scotia westward to Wisconsin and Missouri and southward to Georgia. It probably also occurs in northern Florida, but records may apply to Zale lunifera. The southwestern range limit is not known.

The length of the forewings is about 19.7 mm for males and 20.1 mm for females. The flight period is from March to June depending on latitude and elevation.

The larvae feed on various Prunus species, including black cherry, beach plum and cherry.

Laurier Brantford set to "Light it Up Purple"
Fries eaten day after day, Korean films kept behind locked dorm doors and the tinging of bangles never to be heard. While students at Laurier Brantford may be learning meticulous details about other countries and peoples, this doesn't always translate into student life. In fact, being the small campus that it is there aren't many clubs or activities specifically related to showcasing diversity at all. But, some students are itching for a change, waiting for an opportunity to expand the definition of what they believe our collegial environment should look like.
The truth is that life on campus can become exceptionally cookie cutter-esque in terms of food, lifestyle and entertainment. Students can fold into the perceived norms and forget that excitement, adventure and an intense ability to learn firsthand often come when people open up and celebrate their differences. However, the issue is the vulnerability that this entails. The natural process is cultural assimilation, described in the dictionary as, "a process by which members of an ethnic minority group lose cultural characteristics that distinguish them from the dominant cultural group or take on the cultural characteristics of another group." To a degree this is unavoidable, but when you smell the scent of Kraft Diner wafting from underneath ten doors at once, it's time for a change to occur.
Starting small is the key – making some homemade perogies for your roommates, or popping in that Vietnamese track that actually ends up being quite catchy. No matter how frightening it may seem to rustle up the nerve to be forthcoming, the truth is that not only are you opening up a whole new world for the people around you, but you're also adding more dimension and colour to the campus as well. I know that if I smelt a Samosa baking or saw girls with henna tattoos I'd smile instantaneously.
Hopefully, there is room in the future for a cultural showcase on campus. As Parveen Badwal, a student at Laurier Brantford suggests, "A cultural fair would be great for the school, giving [students] a chance to see and experience what every country represented has to offer." But the truth is that all doesn't hinge on the big things. It's the one-on-one personal efforts that will make the most beautiful and remarkable shifts. Laurier Brantford students are warm and receptive for the most part. Our cultural ignorance doesn't stem from a lack of concern but rather a lack of effort. So go ahead, Laurier, culture it up…you certainly won't regret it!

Twitter Has Introduced a New Font, Which It Calls Chirp, Across Its Platforms
By Joseph Allen
Aug. 12 2021, Published 9:56 a.m. ET
Even after a social media platform is widely successful, the people running it still want to make tweaks with the goal of improving a user's experience. Some of those tweaks involve introducing new features, but others involve changes to the way a social media site functions or looks. Recently, Twitter made a few changes to its design that were noticeable enough to provoke questions from users.
What was Twitter's font before and after?
Just recently, Twitter began rolling out a change over to its new font, which it calls Chirp. The font will eventually be available for all users, regardless of how they access Twitter. Chirp is replacing Segoe UI, and features a slightly messier, more rounded look.
The font is part of a broader refresh of the company's brand that was first unveiled in January of this year. In a blog post, the company explained why they introduced the new font.
"Chirp strikes the balance between messy and sharp to amplify the fun and irreverence of a Tweet, but can also carry the weight of seriousness when needed," the blog post said. In January, the font was already being used by Twitter for promotional purposes, but it hadn't yet been rolled out to all users. At the time, Twitter's creative director Derrit DeRouen said that he hoped the typeface would become the brand's default, although he didn't say when that might happen.
"Do we eventually see Chirp as the typeface for the product?" Derrit wrote in a Twitter thread in January. "It's my personal desire, and the work on legibility, density and weight has already begun. There is more refining to do, more languages to build, but the hard work will be worth the benefit of having a holistic brand."
The new font comes with a fun easter egg.
Some users may find that it takes some time to the look and feel of the new font, but it does come with a fun easter egg that wasn't available before. If you type [CHIRPBIRDICON] into the compose Tweet compose box, you can tweet the Twitter logo. The words all need to be capitalized and bracketed in order for the logo to appear. It appears instantly on iOS but doesn't appear until the tweet has been sent on the web.
okay confirmed it did
— Twitter (@Twitter) August 11, 2021
Twitter also made other design changes.
The font may be the most instantly apparent change that was made to Twitter, but it wasn't the only aspect of the design that changed recently. "We've updated our colors to be high contrast and a lot less blue — a change made to draw attention to the photos and videos you create and share," the company said in a thread from their design account.
Twitter has also said that they'll be unveiling a new color scheme soon, but the exact timing has yet to be clarified. It's also unclear exactly what those changes in color will be. Twitter also reversed the user experience for the Follow button. When you follow someone, the button's background used to be filled in. Now, it's not, which may take some adjusting.

The lowest size roll-off dumpster usually available is 10 yards. This container will carry about 10 cubic yards of waste and debris, which is approximately equivalent to 3 to 5 pickup truck loads of waste. This dumpster is a great option for small-scale jobs, for example small home cleanouts.
Other examples of jobs that a 10 yard container would work well for include: A garage, shed or attic cleanout A 250 square foot deck removal 2,000 to 2,500 square feet of single layer roofing shingles A modest kitchen or bathroom remodeling project Concrete or soil removal Getting rid of junk Be constantly aware that weight constraints for the containers are demanded, so exceeding the weight limit will incur additional costs. The standard weight limitation for a 10 yard bin is 1 to 3 tons (2,000 to 6,000 pounds).
A 10 yard bin will help you take care of small jobs around the house. When you have a larger project coming up, take a look at some larger containers too.
Litter removal vs dumpster rental in Hotevilla - Which is good for you?
When you have a project you are going to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your trash and junk for you, or if you need to just rent a dumpster in Hotevilla and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better solution if you would like the flexibility to load it on your own time and you do not mind doing it yourself to save on work. Dumpsters also function well in the event that you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll offs generally begin at 10 cubic yards, thus should you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for a lot more dumpster than you need.
Garbage or crap removal makes more sense should you would like another person to load your old stuff. Additionally, it works well should you would like it to be taken away quickly so it's out of your hair, or in the event that you only have a few big items; this is likely cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Hotevilla?
When choosing a dumpster, though, it's often wise to ask for a size larger than what you believe you'll need. Unless you are a professional, it's tough to estimate the exact size required for your project. By getting a slightly larger size, you spend a little more money, but you also avoid the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is almost always cheaper than renting two small ones.
Most cities or municipalities don't have many regulations regarding dumpster rental in Hotevilla as long as you keep the dumpster entirely on your own property during the rental period. In the event you must place your container on the street at all, you will probably have to get a license from the right building permit office in your town.
Most dumpster rental businesses in Hotevilla will take care of securing this license for you if you rent from them. Ensure that in the event that you're planning to set the dumpster on the street, the business has made the appropriate arrangements. You should also make sure that you get the license in a timely manner and at the right cost. In case you thought the dumpster business was getting a license and they did not, you will be the one who will have to pay the fine that's issued by the authorities.
It's hard to beat a roll off dumpster when you've got a sizable job that'll create plenty of debris. Most rental companies include dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the prices, so you could prevent additional fees. Roll off dumpsters typically have time restrictions because firms need to get them back for other customers. This is really a possible drawback if you're not great at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster bags are often convenient for small jobs with loose deadlines. If you don't want lots of room for debris, then the bags could function nicely for you. Many companies are also happy to allow you to maintain the bags for as long as you need. That makes them useful for longer projects.
One of the biggest concerns you probably have when renting a dumpster in Hotevilla is how much it'll cost. Among the very best approaches to negate this anxiety would be to have accurate info. When you phone to get a price quote, have a good idea of just how much waste you'll have to remove so you can get the best recommendation on dumpster size. In case you are unsure on the amount of waste, renting a size larger will save you the extra expense of renting another dumpster if the first proves overly little.
Provide any info you think is applicable to make sure you don't end up paying for services that you don't really desire. Some companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Be sure you know which is which so you've a clear estimate. Also ensure that you ask if the estimate you get contains landfill fees; this is going to keep you from being surprised by an additional fee later.
While roll off dumpsters are typically left on place, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set schedule. This makes it feasible for sanitation professionals to eliminate garbage and trash for multiple homes and businesses in the region at reasonable costs.
Most residential areas allow roll-off dumpsters. If you own a driveway, then you can generally park the dumpster there so you do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic problems by putting it upon the road.
Some projects, however, will require putting the dumpster on the road. If it applies to you, then you definitely need to speak to your city to learn whether you have to get any licenses before renting the dumpster. In most cases, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential road for a brief amount of time. In case you believe you'll need to keep it on the road for several weeks or months, though, you may need to get a permit.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster can get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions aren't totally standard from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the largest size that most dumpster businesses normally rent, so it is perfect for large residential projects as well as for commercial and industrial use.
When you rent a short-term dumpster, your aim is to fill it up and have the waste hauled away. But in case you prefer your waste recycled, you may need to go about it in a slightly different way. Waste in the majority of temporary dumpsters isn't recycled since the containers are so large and carry so much material.
If you're interested in recycling any waste from your job, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental businesses in Hotevilla have a wide variety of containers available, including those for recycling. These are usually smaller than temporary dumpsters; they are the size of routine trash bins and smaller.
Should you'd like to recycle, figure out whether the business you are working with uses single stream recycling (you do not have to sort the substance) or in the event that you'll need to form the recyclable material into various containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This will really make a difference in the variety of containers you should rent.

I first became interested in the Arizona town of Yuma because of its prison history, particularly with the bandits and gunmen of the Old West.
It seemed like the natural next chapter after my jaunt to Tombstone last year.
And, like in Tombstone, lots of people died in Yuma.
Most prisoners died while incarcerated—from illness, snakebite, escape attempts, self-inflicted wounds, or at the hands of another. That was just a fact of life (and death). And they were buried at the prison.
...save for a lone dove—appropriately, a mourning dove—perched upon a granite cross as it cooed.
I'd see lots more mourning doves during my two-day visit to Yuma—so many, in fact, that the Arizona Game and Fish Department allows the hunting of them, and the visitors' bureau encourages it.
I'd also see lots of retro-cool commercial signs, whether for the drive-thru liquor store, the Yuma Cabaña motel (whose overnight experience did not live up to the glory of its signage), or the glittering neon Hacienda across the street.
At breakfast, I was greeted by one of those "cigar store Indians" no longer used to advertise tobacconists and generally relegated to Old West theme parks and tchotchke-filled theme restaurants.
Such was the case with my breakfast spot, the Yuma Landing—situated on the site where the first plane to ever land in Arizona made its touch down (on October 25, 1911). Appropriately, much of the restaurant is devoted to the history of flight in Yuma, a history that's perhaps been eclipsed by the tales of transporting outlaws by train to the territorial prison.
Driving around Yuma, then, you'd expect to see some train trestles and other relics of railroading—but what we found instead was an abandoned suspension bridge, an automotive roadway that once spanned the Gila River.
Nobody ever really had faith in this bridge, built in 1929—especially when cars became heavier and more abundant. In 1968, traffic was diverted to a smaller bridge over safety concerns, and the river was dammed upstream, leaving a dry river valley below it.
Funny enough, a 1993 flood washed the "new" bridge out—the one that was supposedly less flimsy—and left the old bridge intact. But all 800 feet of it are still considered unstable, even for pedestrians, giving the McPhaul Bridge a more commonly-known identity as the "Bridge to Nowhere."
But sometimes, nowhere is exactly where I want to be—to take pause and get a little rest.
And that's exactly what I found along the U.S. 95, that highway that starts at the Mexico border in Arizona and crosses through California (intersecting with the 40 in Needles) and Nevada on its way to Oregon and Idaho.
Plopped down in the middle of the agricultural breadbasket of Southwestern Arizona—tucked between fields of lettuces and cabbages— is Loren Pratt's Little Chapel, sometimes better known as the "Pause, Rest, Worship Chapel."
Loren had been a respected farmer in the area, one of the pioneers of the so-called Dome Valley—and, as a devoutly religious man, he built this chapel in 1995 and dedicated it to the memory of his deceased wife, Lois, who'd struggled for years with a rare form of dementia.
This diminutive house of worship (which seats about a dozen worshippers) is actually the second version to stand here—the first having been swept away in a freak storm in 2011. Led by Loren's son Cecil Pratt, supporters rallied to rebuild the chapel in the exact same spot and finished just in time for Easter morning service in 2012.
And just when we thought we'd seen all the oddities that the Yuma environs had to offer, we happened upon a stark white airship, tethered but slowly bobbing in the breeze, swaying to and fro—a little farther north along the 95 (on our way to the Castle Dome Mine Museum—stay tuned), just beyond some flimsy fencing within the boundary of the local Army base, the Yuma Proving Ground.
I didn't get the chance to access the YPG on this trip, but I did tour a different military base in Yuma. Stay tuned for dispatches from the MCAS Yuma.
